they broke up a team without a number one superstar to try and get one because having one is the most important piece of winning a title. Injuries might completely derail that team but I don't know how any of you watch so much basketball and still can't see that a team with Booker as it's number 1 was never going to win a title.
On the other hand, it's a discussion board so I get it. But the fact remains that it won't change anything.
I'm not nervous. I'm expecting a loss. But I'm always the optimist hoping to be pleasantly surprised.Im doing a nice early fan suns stress banna kush hit already....
Im soooo nervous on this gm.... just please no blowout againand is giannis playing ton.....?
And people said the same thing about Giannis until he finally won one. And the legend of Mikal is quite distorted here, now it seems he's even the reason we lost to Dallas. All told Mikal has slightly better stats in the postseason including the Dallas series. I don't know about CamJ but he really wasn't all the way back from his injury last season.
Come on that’s pretty weak. That team had Middleton, Jrue and Brook Lopez, so that narrative is not a good look.
Well, of course we will. But it's not like we're all starting conversations about how great it was or how poorly thought out this decision was, there's a conversation going on from both camps and some in between. Both sides are running this into the ground, not just me and the others that dislike the deal. That's life on a message board. Just look how often posters still bring up Stix or Haliburton or Joe Johnson.
How is that relevant? Posters here said that Giannis will never carry his team to a championship because the team had already failed a couple of times. And then he led his team to a championship. It's a team game and every superstar has players around him, usually they have pretty good ones around them. But the blame usually falls on them anytime they come up short. And my point is it's foolish to write off the careers of 25 or 26 year olds solely because something hasn't happened yet.
Do you have quotes for that? Curious who said that and how long ago.
Then what's the point of being here? Posters in favor of the deal have had free rein to say what they want, why in the world shouldn't those of us that think it's the dumbest decision the Suns have ever made have a right to respond too? Especially since we're paying a price every game now for having made that trade. Frustration and disappointment are high, I'm sure if KD gets back and helps us look like a contender again, the talk will die down.
I have no intention of searching for them but if you're looking for a time frame, start during the bubble games and go forward until the Bucks actually win it. I'm pretty sure it was said by more than one poster and it was certainly said more than once.
Keep reading.
Did you see my "On the other hand" post?
No one said that horse manure. How about you take your own advice and not distort others opinions to strengthen your own? Jesus.
A couple plays? We lost in four straight games to end that series and got through a Western Conference riddled with more injuries than I can ever remember.
You can maintaining last year and this years team had enough playmakers but it’s not going to make it right. Once we were down to one playmaker, the Mavs destroyed our offense. Plain and simple.
Agree to disagree. Teams don’t win titles without unicorn superstars leading them to one unless you’re the 2004 pistons… the exception to the rule in the last 30 years.
Over our 55 year period??!? We have tried that lots of times. The only trade close to this is Barkley. We have tried this over and over and over.
You make the claim but aren’t prepared to back it up? Ok, not sure you’re going to convince anyone like that.
Well, I did direct you to the board where it's posted.
Honestly I'm surprised no one has supported my comment because it was said several times and in different ways; that Giannis is not a number 1 on a championship team or that Giannis will never lead his team to a championship and so on.
Yeah I don’t remember that at all, mainly because I myself wouldn’t think that. If anything, back then it would be because I just didn’t know much about Giannis at that time.Well, I did direct you to the board where it's posted.
It stands out to me because on at least one occasion, I pushed back on the point. I don't have the time to search for it right now but if no one else supports my comment in the next few days I'll search for evidence when I have the chance. But between college basketball, the Suns and watching at least one movie with my wife every night, it won't be right away.
They were a dominant team a couple years in a row and were a popular pick to win it all. And people often overreact when you come up short a couple of times.
